The Insurgents in the Philippines.
Aguinaldo and his insurgent follow-
ers have presented fully as picturesque
a picture in our difficulties with Spain,
as Gomez and his Cuban army of ' rag-
ged, half-starved natives. . I
It is. at the present time, practically
impossible to estimate how many thous-
and there are in the Philippines, and
especially those under arms around
Manila. This unknown insurgent
army is a much mixed-up affair. It .is
officered, that is true enough, but the
discipline is something of a very laugh-
able nature. For instance, a captain
may have a hundred men in his com-
pany one day, and the next, day finds
himself commanding but fifty men, the
rest having gone over to another cap-
tain, presumably one more to their
liking.

A characteristic of,these islanders is
their peculiar freedom of spirit. An
apparently peaceful native may be till-
ing his fields one day, surrounded with
the implements of domesticity, and the
next finds him shouldering a inusket,
which, by the way, he doubtless ob-
tained from the Spanish soldiers, and
elbowing his way through a crowd of
similar chattering natives possessed of
a momentary war-like spirit. If the
United States acquires the Philippines,
it will probably find another problem
to solve-that of establishing peace
and industrial habits among these in-
surgents. Perhaps, however, the good.
example set by many of the insurgents
who have retired to "their farms and
rice-planting, to await another period
of war, will inspire the majority to go
and do likewise.

{ADE ()F INSURGENTS 7.“ MANILA. FROM HARP «‘R'S ‘WEEKLY
By Permission
G
Our picture, which to-day is repro-
ducod from HARPER’S WEEKLY, and
shows a triumphal procession insur-
gents in Manila. An arch of triumph,
characteristically decorated looms up
prominently in the background. The
genius of liberty, represented by a
beautiful native woman, stands on a
float filled with flowers holding an in-
surgent flag, and is drawn along by
natives.
These processions show that the
insurgents are beginning to realize
what the downfall of Spanish power
means to them, and in the first flush of
victory probably wish to assert their
independence; but this feeling,
which even now is rapidly dying away,
will be dissolved entirely when they
begin to appreciate the good oflices of
the United States government.
'Supreme Court ,Finds That
' There was No Error ini
the Willis Case.
BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 30.—The supreme
court of errors held a session in New
Haven, yesterday afternoon and hauled
down several decisions.
' The most important decision to this
part of the state is that in the case of
the state against Benjamin R. Willis,
who is under sentence of death at the
state prison for the murder of David S.
R.” Lambert in Wilton.
The court finds no error and the sen-
tence of the lower court stands.
Willis was to have been hung Nov. 4,
but a reprieve until Dec. 20, was grant-
ed by Gov. Cooke, to permit the su-
preme court to pass upon the case.
Counsel for Willis claimed that the
superior court erred in admitting, as
evidence » a confession from Willis,
which it was claimed was obtained by
holding out inducements to him. "The
finding of the supreme court is against
the claim and Willis must hang unless
the board'of pardons intervenes.

When/winter jumped suddenly down
upon Norwalk, on Saturday,’ he gave
the town a taste of his quality that will
belong remembered. There resulted
the severest and heaviest snowstorm
that has visited Norwalk since the
memorable storm- of March 12, 1888,
known in history as the blizzard.
The storm of Saturday and Sunday
did not equal the 88 blizzard in point of
severity, but it was sufficient to last
another ten years.
The storm was widespread in \its ef-
fects. Its fury was vented upon the
territory between Washington and
Boston and as far west as Pittsburg.
‘ South of Washington it was compara-
tively light. The telegraph companies
suffered considerably, and the Postal
company had the only line through to
New York.
In Boston the storm was unusually
severe,dispatches fromBoston reporting
the sinking of thirty barges in Boston
harbor and the attendant loss of twelve
lives.
' The trains on the Consolidated were
stalled all along the line and trafiic was
entirely suspended. Both trolley lines
in Norwalk were stopped and no cars
were run over either route on Sunday.
The big sweeper of the Street Railway
company was stalled in an attempt to
reach South Norwalk and efforts to
reach that city were abandoned.
The biggest drift 0n the Consolidated
road was near Greens Farms. - It was
more than twenty feet high and extend-
ed nearly a quarter of a mile. Twenty
engines were sent from New Haven
during the day to tackle the drift, but
were unable to get through.
Both in this city and South Norwalk
the streets were blocked by drifts
ranging from ten to twenty feet in
height. Near the Mahackemo hotel a
drift fully fifteen feet in height‘pre-
vented passing of pedestrians. On
the east side of Washington street, the
snow; was piled up nearly as high as the
windows of the first stories of the
buildings. The large glass front in
the Chinese laundry in the Decker
building was blown in by the terrific
wind.
The north side of Wall street was
completely blocked by huge piles of
snow. From the river as far west as
River street drifts from ten to fifteen
feet in height were met.
Street commissioner Bates had teams
working all day digging out the streets
and dumping the snow into the river.
Main street was about in the same
condition, as were nearly all the streets
about the city. .
Milkmen were obliged to make their
rounds on foot, Sunday morning, and a
large number of their customers, living
in remote districts, failed to receive
their usual Sunday supply.
The New York Sunday newspapers
reached town, but the newsdealers
were unable to deliver them to their
customers. Most of the dealers kept
their stores open all day, so as to give
those who cared to brave the storm, 3.
chance to obtain their Sunday reading.
In consequence of the stalling of
trains on the Consolidated, no mails
were received, and the post flice was
closed early. Very few attempted to
attend church andthe‘ services were of
short duration.
During the storm Saturday night a
large Sound Steamer anchored just 011‘
Chiqmons, Island where she remained
all day Sundny sheeted from the wind
She was thought by many to be the
City of Fall River, which had not been
reported since leaving New York
Saturday night. ~
The terrific wind that accompanied
the storm tore the limbs from trees all
about town, and the streets and door-
yards were filled with broken branch-
es. Signs and window glass also suf-
fered, and several windows were
wrecked.
In the harbor'but slight damage was
done, all of the steamboat’s freighters
making no attempt to weather the gale.=’
One ‘or two sailboats were set adrift
and one was capsized at South Nor-
walk, but no material damage resulted. -
'Taken all, in all Norwalk escaped the
’98 blizzard with very little loss.
NOTES.
Atthe South Norwalk Methodist
church, Sunday morning, Mrs. A. S-
Kavanaugh and the sexton. James
Hora were th'e-fonly attendants at,
service. " ' .
Edward L. Hoyt, of the firm of A. H.
In attempting to open the door of his
store he broke a. pane of glass. He
fixed the same up for temporary use
with boards. In going out he pulled
section of the glass fell, and striking
his right wrist caused an ugly wound
which was later dressed by Dr. Walter
Hitchcock. Mr. Hoyt is at the Store
to-day apparently none the worse of
his injury.
At St. Mary’s and St J osep ’s R. C.
churches Sunday morning, the usual
Mass services were celebrated with a
few attendants.
A large section of the slating on the
St. Mary’s church spire was blown off
and several of the slates landed in the
dooryard of Dr. W. J. Tracey on the
opposite side of the street.
There was no service in the Norwalk
Methodist church, Sunday morning.
In the evening, however, a small con-
gregation of men assembled. and Rev.
Mr. Scofield preached on “The Son of
God.” ‘
At St. Paul’s church, Sunday morn-
ing, the Rev. S. B. Pond officiated.
The only worshippers present were the
organist, Edward Simms, St. John
Merrill, the parish clerk, and H. H.
Williams, the sexton, who occupied
the front pew. The service was the
same as usual, but without music or
sermon.
' Two large elm trees one located at
the Tallmadge Baker residence on
West street, and the other on the M. M.
Norton place near by, were up-rooted
by the gale.
A.
Thomas Shaunnessy, of Greens
Farms, had a very narrow escape from
being frozen to death during Saturday
night’s blizzard. He was returning
home from Bridgeport with a load of
feed and grain, and when driving
through Fairfield he began to feel cold,
but thought he would be able to reach
home in safety. When passing the
Congregational church in Southport he
was so overcome with the cold that he
fell from the wagon into a snowdrift
and lay unseen for over an hour, when
he was found by John Woodward. Mr.
Woodward, with the aid of assistants,
carried him to a nearby house-where
he regained consciousness and was
taken home on the train. The team
was found by Ollie Jennings in Greens
Farms about 10 o’clock. Mr. Jennings
took the horses into his barn and kept
them until Monday, when they were
called for by Mr. Shaunnessy.

‘ At 5:30 o’clock, Monday morning,the
home of John Sinnels in Ox Ridge was
totally destroyed by fire with its con-
tents. -
The blaze was plainly seen, but the
deep snow prevented neighbors froin
rendering assistance.
The family, consisting of Mr. and
Mrs. Sinnels and their two sons and
daughters, were awakened by the
smoke, and barely escaped with their
lives out into the snow and cold, clad
onlyin their night clothes.
When first discovered the fire was
con fined to the kitchen, but the flames
spread rapidly and soon consumed the
entire building together with its con-
tents. ' y
The house was owned by B. J.
Waterbury, of Darien, and was unin-
sured.
